Mahamaham Tank, Kumbakonam
Devotees believe this tank is filled from the confluence of all the sacred rivers in India. The full moon day once every twelve years is the most auspicious to bathe in its waters. Millions make the pilgrimage over the course of more than a week. We were lucky enough to mingle with some of the latecomers a few days after full moon.
